DSC Dynamic Stability Control

Switching DSC off

Press the button; the indicator lamp
comes on and stays on.

Stabilizing interventions of the chassis
control system DSC are no longer avail-
able. However, the braking interven-
tions that simulate the function of the
differential lock continue to be active.

In the following exceptional circum-
stances, it may be effective to switch off
the DSC for a short period:
> When rocking the vehicle and starting

off in deep snow or on loose road
surfaces

> On sandy road surfaces

> On poor surfaces with deep ruts

> If the wheels churn on muddy sur-

faces

> When driving with snow chains.

As a result of the braking inter-
ventions, the brakes may be sub-

jected to additional loads when the sys-
tem is switched off. In order to limit the
brake temperature, brief automatic
masking of the brake activation is pos-
sible.
To maintain vehicle stability, always
drive with the system switched on when
possible.

Switching DSC on

Press the button a second time – the
indicator lamp goes out. DSC is now
activated.

Please be sure to observe the informa-
tion on the DSC Dynamic Stability Con-
trol/xDrive warning lamp on page 22
and on the possible lamp combinations
that can light up on page 20.
